Compared to last year, the secondary of the Minnesota Vikings will feature a significantly higher amount of experience out on the field next season.
After rolling with the veteran trio of Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander for a few years, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer decided to see if his secondary could perform well without these three defensive backs last season.
Spoiler alert, it didn’t work. The Vikings pass defense took some major steps back in 2020 after the departures of Rhodes, Waynes, and Alexander.
